Creamy Potatoes

Posted by Delightfully Doable on 4 August, 2014 None comments

This past couple weeks has been so unbearably hot. So hot that the thought of cooking is not appealing whatsoever. I’ve decided to do as much on the grill as possible without having the same meals repeated. Not the easiest but can happen with creativity. These potatoes came from the grill and landed in my mouth with a great big smile upon my face.

I can’t express to you the great joy of hanging out with my family and sitting on the back porch enjoying so good food and even more, great family time. And this my friends, has been what our summer is all about.

Ingredients:

1 lb red potatoes, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 bushels of green onions
Salt & Pepper
Garlic Salt
Parsley
EVOO
3/4 cup ranch

Like Father like son. They are twins in every aspect.

Dice potatoes and onions. Season with a generous amount of salt, pepper, garlic salt and parsley.

Add in green onions.

Top with EVOO and ranch dressing.

Mix together and compile onto a foil lined vegetable grill basket (or place foil directly onto grill).

Grill for about 15-20 minutes until tender but still has a bite.

This is great with any main dish. Tonight we had this with Applewood Sausage.

Quick Sausage

This is great for a snack, side dish or main course. My son, husband and I love sausage and often when I know he wont eat what I will be preparing for dinner, I think of other options that will be a hit and have a variety of protein and vegetables.

Ingredients:

Sausage
Mushrooms
Onion
EVOO
Garlic Salt
Salt & Pepper

In a skillet, saute all ingredients until heated through and cooked.

Serve over rice as a main dish or simply serve as is for a side dish.

Tonight we had Mahi with rice and salad. I decided to serve the sausage as a side dish as I know my son absolutely loves it.

We all love to eat dinner and hang out on our patio….boo hoo for when summer decides to leave us! :(

Roasted Cabbage

Posted by Delightfully Doable on 11 July, 2014 None comments

This is the best, healthiest side dish you could make for any summer meal! It is super tasty and carb free! :) I’ve been making this for awhile and cabbage is only $0.66 at our local market. You can’t beat that for a side dish for an entire family and then some.

My husband and I can get sick of the usual stir fried veggies and opt for a different take on a vegetable side. This is great for those nights you can’t think of anything and want something quick!

Ingredients:

1 head of Cabbage, halved
EVOO
Garlic Salt
Sea Salt
Fresh Cracked Pepper

Cut cabbage in half.

Slice into large chunks.

Lay cabbage on foil lined baking sheet

Drizzle with EVOO, salt, pepper and garlic salt

Sprinkle to taste

Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until lightly roasted.

Yummy

Serve with Chicken Avocado Spring Rolls.

Honey Glazed Carrots

These honey glazed carrots are a guarantee in our household. My son loves them and they aren’t bad for you. Honey is a great sweetener that isn’t horrible for your body. This is a great way to get a little vegetables with a twist to the raw crunch that gets tiring.

Ingredients

Honey
Carrots

Simple as that. Two ingredients and an oven. :)

For easy clean up I thoroughly love to line most everything with foil to make it easier on me. Line a broiler pan or cookie sheet with foil and scatter carrots on top. Sprinkle globs of honey throughout the carrots and bake at 450 degrees for approximately 10 minutes.
